The Ruling on Excessive Disputing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on excessive disputing?
The Shaykh:
Disputing is not permissible except in clarifying the truth and making it manifest. As for disputing that has no benefit, or disputing over worldly matters, this stirs up hatred and fills hearts with malice, and disputing of this type is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
In the verse, Shaykh,[Al-Kahf 18:54].
The Shaykh:
Yes, this verse was revealed when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) woke Ali and Fatimah for prayer. So Ali or Fatimah said, "Our souls are in the hand of Allah; if He wills, He will send them." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, striking his thigh and saying[Al-Kahf 18:54]. Yes.
